Dear Elementary and Middle School Parents and Guardians,
Due to the increased costs of printing and going “GREEN” Chartwells has decided to no longer print monthly breakfast and lunch menus for every student. The menus can be found on the Pembroke Pines Charter Schools web-site http://pinescharter.net/
There will be some menus delivered to the school each month for those who may not have internet access.

Making sure Students enjoy what they eat can do wonders for growing minds. It has always been the Chartwells Promise and commitment to provide customized solutions to support academic achievement at the highest levels. We practice a single-minded commitment to building strong bodies, sharp minds, and establishing the foundation for a long, healthy life. We call this Eat. Learn. Live.
